The Ravens do have a chance and it's going to be a totally different game from the one played just a few weeks ago for the Broncos. The Ravens offensive line changed dramatically: Oher from left to right, Osemele from right to left, Jah Reid now starting and Marshall Yanda is back from his injury.

They also have Pollard, Ellerbe and Lewis back in the lineup on the defensive side of the ball, not to count the motivational factor that means having Ray playing his last downs and teammates wanting to win the big one for him.

Another thing to take into account is that it's not Jim Caldwell's first game calling plays as it was the case back on week 15. A lot of things have changed.

I swear, the Broncos could win the Super Bowl beating the 49ers by 4 touchdowns, 35-7, and njx would post something along the lines:
"Meh, it was a good game I guess, but we didn't pressure Kaepernick enough, and Manning had that interception. I think they only win 11 games next year."

With these final 8 teams, anyone can beat anyone. They're all really good teams.

As much as I don't really believe Houston will do anything with that squad, it'd be stupid to think they'll have anywhere near a repeat performance against the Pats.

Baltimore is immeasurably better with Lewis, Suggs, and Reed in the game. It'd be foolish to rule out a veteran team like that in any situation. They're not going to be in any kind of shock from playing in Denver. The Ravens simply aren't a team that will ever be intimidated.
